After his expulsion from the US due to a six-year imprisonment stemming from a stabbing, Sam Safo, aka Showboy or Showbezzy, stays positive that his music endeavors will lead to his reinstatement in the United States.

Regardless of the controversies linked to his previous deeds, Showboy views music as his pathway back to the US.

Inspired by Burna Boy’s journey of being banned from the UK over gang-related issues but later gaining re-entry through his success as a musician, Sam Safo expresses his determination to emulate a similar path.

In a post on X, the ‘Gba’ singer shared a photo of himself alongside Burna Boy, accompanied by the caption: “They said Burna Boy got deported from the Uk and music took him back everywhere around the world …. I said yes , that boy burna is my motivation too ..I will do this music alone and it will take me back to the united states of America. So help me Allah … advert lifestyle music video drops soon.”

In March 2019, Sam Safo received a six-year prison sentence for stabbing a Ghanaian musician based in the US during a confrontation. While the victim, Junior, survived the stabbing, he tragically fell victim to a robbery in 2021, leading many to speculate about involvement from Showboy’s associates.
